Identifying the Main Problems of Education and Science Development in Ukraine in the Context of Global Instability
Abstract
The article defines that the economic growth of the world countries today depends on their ability to create and augment new scientific knowledge, as well as make use of this knowledge through the elaboration and implementation of innovative products and technologies that bring to the fore the development of education and science in the countries. At the same time, scientific and educational activities in Ukraine remain insufficiently in demand, which negatively affects the socio-economic development of our country. Thus, the purpose of the research is to identify the main problems of education and science development in Ukraine in the context of global instability. According to the results of the carried out analysis, the list of problems of development of educational and scientific activities in Ukraine is determined, their catalog is formed (which includes 63 positions), as well as a grouping of problems in six separate blocks is made, including: inconsistency of content and quality of scientific and educational activities to the actual needs of society and the national economy; inefficiency of management in terms of science and higher education; insufficient level of funding and unsatisfactory logistical support of higher education and science; deterioration of personnel support of scientific institutions and higher education institutions; weak integration of science and education of Ukraine into the global and the European educational and scientific space; distortion in the formation of a contingent of students of the higher education institutions of all levels. After allocating the main problems of the problem field and constructing the primary cognitive map, the importance of problems and relationships between them was assessed on the basis of the Saati hierarchy analysis method. Based on the calculation of the coefficients of weight of the problem in each group, the types of problems (resulting, root, nodal) are determined, as well as primary cognitive maps of the problems included in each group are built and the relationship between them are researched. The analysis of the composition of the main blocks of problems in educational and scientific activities in Ukraine allowed to prove that most of them are caused by an imperfect management system in these areas, as well as the lack of mechanisms of interaction between all stakeholders of the educational and scientific process.
